GOOD FOOD

Known not only for it’s eclectic mix of emerging musical talent, Laneway Festival returns in 2016 with a mouth-watering range of culinary delights and carefully chosen craft beer in each city.

ADELAIDE

Come to Laneway Festival Adelaide and you’ll find the best of the city’s local food producers and restaurants. Burger Theory is the first in line with their free range, hormone free, locally sourced burgers ready for your consumption. Not only are the burgers delicious but the company itself operates with a net profit ceiling of 15% to ensure pricing remains in check, with a profit sharing arrangement in place with staff if that ceiling is ever displaced. You can also get behind tasty Argentinean grill brought to you by Chimichurri, fresh seasonal fruit blocks by Sunshine Ice Blocks, traditional Cambodian beef and chicken rolls from the mobile trucks of Phat Buddha Rolls and a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine from TacoCat and La Cantina Co.
